Washington,. - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the future of TikTok in the country depends on China, as the deadline approaches for the short video application to cease operating in U.S. territory.
"Perhaps we'll let it die, or perhaps... I don't know, it depends. It depends on China," Trump declared to the press in New Jersey, before returning to Washington.

Next Wednesday, the legal deadline for the Chinese company ByteDance to sell TikTok expires, or the application will cease to function in the United States. Trump, who last month opened an official White House account on TikTok, has postponed the entry into force of the veto on three occasions. The future of the platform is one of the central themes in the conversations that began this Sunday in Madrid between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, which also seek to move towards a tariff agreement. During his first term, Trump was openly critical of TikTok, considering that the data of American users could be accessible to the Chinese Government, but now defends the use of the platform as a tool to connect with the younger electorate. "I did very well on TikTok. I got the youth vote and obtained figures that no one in the Republican Party has ever achieved," he assured this Sunday.
